Late morning coffee snorters edition, where that pesky word “may” crops up again
(CNN) Nearly a third of the world’s economic output will come from countries facing “high” to “extreme” risks from the impacts of climate change within 12 years, according to a new report.
The Climate Change Vulnerability Index, an annual report produced by UK-based risk analysis firm Maplecroft, found that climate change “may pose a serious obstacle to sustainable economic growth in the world’s most commercially important cities.”
When Warmists start throwing around the word “may” (or might, could, etc), you know you’re in for a whopper of a fable. In this case, saying Bad Weather from “climate change” may cause Bad Things to happen, especially within the economies of 3rd World Shitholes developing nations which never seem to develop.
It said the combined GDP of the 67 countries classed as facing “high” or “extreme” risks was projected to nearly triple from $15 trillion to $44 trillion by 2025 — meaning nearly a third of the global economy would be coming under increasing threat from extreme climate-related events. It projected the population of those countries — currently estimated at more than 4.5 billion — could exceed 5 billion by 2025.
So, wait, GDP is supposed to “nearly triple” during “climate change” while also being threatened? I’ll admit, I’m kinda bad about editing posts prior to posting (especially headlines), but, then, I don’t get paid for this. People who write for, say, CNN, do. And typically have an editor who reads the article first.
Notice at the and of that paragraph that the writer seems a bit upset about population growth in these countries. Kinda racists, wouldn’t you say?
The greatest growth in economic activity, technology, health, and so many other things has occurred during the Modern Warm Period. Also, during previous warm periods, which were typically warmer than today, Mankind did a whole lot better than during cool periods, one of which was called The Dark Ages. In fact, things are so great that Warmists are able to whine about Bad Weather and “climate change” and stuff instead of scrambling just to survive.
